Mad Max 2
1981 · TMDB 7.4
Directed by George Miller
Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.
Why it matters
Miller's post-apocalyptic wasteland becomes a kinetic opera of chrome and gasoline, with Max as a reluctant hero in a siege narrative.
